Hi. I've got a Reebok treadmill that recently just stopped working.
There was signs that something was wrong the last couple of times I used as it slowed down by itself and then went as fast as it could. I had to jump off to save myself from injury and then pull out the safety key to stop the belt going around. After the last time this happened the console works, the incline works but the belt doesn't turn.
when I removed the cover and looked at the board I saw that the fuse had blown, so I replaced the fuse and then started the Treadmill. As soon as I did this the belt went round at full speed and then the fuse blew. so I ordered a few more fuses suspecting I had got the wrong type of fuse but, every time I replace the fuse and start the Treadmill it blows.
I have tried unplugging out the red and black wires that come from the motor and then starting the Treadmill and when I do this the fuse does not blow. So I have looked at some other similar posts on here and tested the motor with a drill battery and it worked fine. However I did notice the ceramic green disc capacitor(see pic4) was cracked when I was trying to look for a fault. As soon as I pressed it, it crumbled. I do not know what type of capacitor this is, so I can not order a new one. I have no knowledge or experience with this kind of thing so I would appreciate any help.
